Bald Week

Thanks Moira for your story about your husband.  What a great hubby to do that.  :)

well thanks ladies for giving me a laugh, this is where the site is great, we can say anything about ourselves and nobody takes offence, so well done Baldies. haiving been there i know what it feels like, and like you both i ws in a shop when a kids about 4 said the something about me with my scarf, i didnt catch what she said, but her mum, was so embarassed and kep saying oh i am sooo sorry, i just laughed and said its okay, but the mum was pulling her away from me and the little girl kept comming back and looking at me, the kids i dont mind, but adults do tend to take a double look, and when ii said to my husband i was sick of adults looking at me, he went and bought a stupid hat (the one he is wearing in the profile photo), and said now they wont notice you, they will be too busy looking at me being a plonker with the hat lol,. keep up the good work girls, and when my hair grew back in i loved it curly and black, BUT since i had my op in dec for anurysm it is comming back grey, so the colour bottle will be comming out as soon as the stubble in the front grows back

you might like to also try Moo-Goo Scalp Cream (got from the Health Food Shop)  = I massage my scalp with it every few days.....has it made any difference...who knows other than I'm stimulating hair follicles etc to remind them that they need to grow back and it doesn't appear to have some of the nasty type ingredients in it.

quite ironic that is was developed as a cream used in dairy farms to repair the skin on cow's udders!!

HI Dot and all the other ladies,

I was told by my chemo nurses to use Sorbelene or VAseline intensive care moisturiser as a shower gel. I 'm not sure if that is a help to anyone, They seemed to be telling everyone while i was in chemo the other week. Has anyone else heard of this??

Spread the word

Have a great day and keep smiling

Thanks Tonya, I go down to the chemist and look into the Cetaphil Wash.  I tried baby shampoo even though I had no hair, but still itchy.

Dot

Hi Dot,

Yeah my head went red and itchy and I couldn't stop scratching.Chemist gave me some antihistamine tabs.and I also started washing my head with Cetaphil wash and then applying some sorbolene cream.It got better very quickly.I also made sure to wash my caps and scarves in sunlight soap.Don't know if any of that helps you.

Hey Tonya, you look good too.  We all feel like aliens.  We all just sharing our stories from the different planets we come from.

Hey Louise, I love the pirate story. Kids always say the most funniest things.

Right now my alien head is driving me nuts.  Not sure if I got a rash,  or its just so white on top, it attracted the mossies while I slept. Sure is itchy and lumpy.

Dot :)

Oh gosh Dot...don't worry about it!  We're not that precious!  If we couldn't laugh at ourselves we wouldn't have put our photos up in the first place LOL

I must tell you a funny story that happened to me the other day.  I was up at the shops and was just going to pop a letter into the post box but at the last minute decided to go into Coles to pick up some milk. Well I don't normally go out without my hair on and this time I only had a bandana on my head.  I went into the supermarket and walked to the back of the store to get the milk when I walked passed a little girl (she must have been about 4 or 5 yrs old).  She looked at me with these huge eyes and her mouth slowly formed a big O.  She turned to her mum and in a big loud voice said "oh look, a pirate!!!  I just smiled at her at the time but when I got back to my car I absolutely cracked up laughing!  It was so funny and the look on her face was priceless!  I didn't even have my hook in my hand or my parrot on my shoulder LOL

Aren't kids wonderful :)

I think a fewl decided it was Bald week coz there are a lot of girls out there at the bald stage and we are giving each other encouragement to be brave and show there lovely bald heads. Even if they are weird shapes and alien looking. Its good to hear how we all cope with the loss and how it makes us feel.

Go on stick a pic up and we will all laugh at ourselves..Its great therapy!!!

Take Care  Chrissy D xox :)

Dot,

Dont beat yourself up about what you say on this website.  I take no offence and I think we are just a great bunch of baldies. We got guts and we are taking power over our own bodies. Go Pink Aussie Girls.

Have a great day!
